Chiral symmetry breaking and the interaction of π mesons with very light nuclei at low energies

  • 1. Institute of Nuclear Physics, USSR Academy of Sciences

Description

The nucleon sigma term in the absence of free parameters is calculated assuming SU(3) x SU(3) symmetry breaking by the Hamiltonian which transforms as the (3, 3()+(3(, 3) representation. The sum rules relating the physical amplitudes to the amplitudes for soft pions are used to estimate the pion-nucleon sigma term from the data on π-meson scattering on nuclei with A< or =4
